Abstract
A planetary gear device for a motorcycle transmits a power of a reciprocating combustion engine to a supercharger. The supercharger pressurizes intake air for the combustion engine. The supercharger includes a supercharger rotation shaft and an impeller supported by the supercharger rotation shaft. A planetary gear and an internal gear of the planetary gear device are each composed of a helical gear, and the planetary gear and the internal gear form a helical gear pair. The planetary gear device includes a pressing unit that applies a pressing force in an axial direction to the planetary gear.
